FEEDING FULL G1RO\VN PUPS AND .-\I)L`LT FOXES

For full grown pups and

adults straight Purina. Fox Clier-kr-rs ls unquestionably the host riitiun from now until pr-lling tinlc. .This ration will give better, 1-icnrcr color and br-itcr ull round fur develop- ment than uny nth:-r ration you might feed. There is no doubt uhout \l1is.

Ilowcvcr we urge you to put at least. some of your pups on straight Checkers this year- and which the prices you get for their pclts.

FEEDING COSTS

Consider this: Only 120 days

remain until peltlng time. lf your feed cost is 2c a day, it will cost $2.40 to feed each pup to polling. If the daily cost is Zlpéc, the cost per pup is 83-00- If Sic the cost is $3.60. At the most, you cannot have a differ- ence of more than $1.20 is pup, regardless of what or how you feed. This is small indeed when you consider that feeding can affect valucs from $5.00 to $15.00 a pelt. Results are of first Importance and the cost is secondary.

The Fox Chow Meal and

meat ration above costs 34-. to 3‘4c a day. The Fnx Checker and meat ration Mic. ii day. The straight Checker ration Zlgc to 2“ic, a day.

FORMULA AND INGRED-

IENT QUALITY UNCHANGED

Bt-hind every bag of Fox

Chow you feed, lies the rigid testing and inspecting of each ingredient used. Ingredient prices have advanced but the formula has not been varied to have a more attractive sel- ling price. Results are para- mount, cost, la only secondary, Eight years of the most care- ful kind of experimental work is hack of your Purina Fox Chow rations. Over 3000 foxes were used in last ycar‘s experi- ments alone. Over 2500 foxes are under experiment again this year to further improve Fox Chow, If we can.

TODAY'S PRICE IS LOWER

Fox Chow advanced with the cost. of ingredients last spri|1g_. has declined now with the rec- ent market set back. Today‘| price is ‘lc in- single bag lots, lower prices by the ton.
